Caution

for Piccolo Interface Units

The Piccolo Interface Unit (PIU) and Piccolo-XR unit are devices which are most
commonly used in fixed installations.

BEFORE USING THIS PIU, READ THIS BOOKLET WHICH
CONTAINS IMPORTANT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR
SAFE USAGE AND RF ENERGY AWARENESS AND CONTROL
INFORMATION AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS IN
APPLICABLE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.
ALSO READ THE OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE
USAGE.

RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information and Operational Instructions

NOTICE: The PIU and Piccolo-XR devices are authorized for general

The PIU and Piccolo-XR use electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF)
spectrum to provide communications between two or more users over a distance.
They use radio frequency (RF) energy or radio waves to send and receive data.
RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are
not limited to, sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused
with these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which when used improperly,
can cause biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for example, can
damage tissues and genetic material.

Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with
organizations to develop standards for safe exposure to RF energy. These
standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both workers and the
general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial
margins of protection.

All Motorola PIUs and Piccolo-XR units are designed, manufactured, and tested
to ensure they meet government-established RF exposure levels. In addition,
manufacturers also recommend specific operating instructions to users of PIUs
and Piccolo-XR units. These instructions are important because they inform
users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to
control it.

Please refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy
exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with
established RF exposure limits:

Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Regulations

The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy
exposure limits for PIUs and Piccolo-XR units before they can be marketed in the
U.S.

Compliance with RF Exposure Standards

Your Motorola PIU and Piccolo-XR are designed and tested to comply with a
number of national and International standards and guidelines (listed below) for
human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The PIU and

Piccolo-XR comply with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for
uncontrolled RF exposure environments. In terms of measuring RF energy for
compliance with these exposure guidelines, your PIU and Piccolo-XR generate
measurable RF energy only while they are transmitting, not when they are
receiving or in standby mode.
